This thesis work investigates the current transport mechanisms at the Si/gridline interface of the screen-printed commercial silicon (Si) solar cell with lowly doped emit[...]

New clinical tools that aid in the early diagnosis of ovarian malignancies will significantly help reduce mortality and improve current long-term survival rates. The obj[...]

Coupling of optically active materials, or chromphores, to plasmonic nanoparticles represents a new research area which has the ability to produce higher efficiency light[...]

Quantum confinement that semiconductors experience at the nanoscale facilitate the creation of multiexcitons. However, this same confinement also increases the efficiency[...]

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains the most aggressive cancer with a 5-year survival rate below 10%. Two of the major contributors to this dismal prognosis ar[...]

Nanoparticles are an innovative platform for cancer treatment that reduces systemic toxicity and allows for active targeting of tumor sites to enhance the therapeutic eff[...]

<italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> is responsible for approximately 80% of all cases of human osteomyelitis. RANK-L is an essential signal produced by ost[...]

Nano-sized cubes made from nucleic acid material (NANPs) are ideal scaffolds for therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs). Both utilize sequence specificity through base-pairing,[...]

Cancer is not one disease but many. In fact, cancer is a collection of more than 100 different diseases. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States [...]

Platinum and Palladium nanoparticles are important nanoscale materials for a variety of materials science and industrial applications. The presented research covers a bro[...]
